Possible Line issue

My inlaws have rung me tonight mentioning their broadband seems to have gone very slow.  I have checked their current line speed which state 0.3mb which is likely the cause.
I have asked them to run the basic checks for phone crackle and do a graceful disconnect of the router and switch it off, wait 10mins and restart it. etc, but I cant get there till weds PM, to have a proper look. Could someone from Plusnet kindly post up their radius logs, and possibly do a line test. The account is name paddy123.  Its likely down to the dreadful weather we are having in Lancashire and to be honest a line fault wouldnt be a bad thing, as they still have the old BT 'coffin box' wiring and really old style master sockets, so hopefully if a BT engineer is needed, they would replace all this Wink Wink

Hi penfold,
I'm unable to go into detail about their issue as you're not listed as the account holder or an authorised contact.
However, if you have the login details for their account you can report a fault online: http://portal.plus.net/my-account/tools/phone-troubleshooter

Re: Possible Line issue

Hi Adam
All I want is the radius logs to see if they had a rapid spate of disconnections over the weekend, as their useage logs fall off on Saturday.  I fail to see the issue of reporting this on the forum, as its been done many times before.
I agree I am not an authorised user on the account, but she has almost no PC skilsl apart from being able to use a PC. Can we be helpful here?

Re: Possible Line issue

Adam....
All I asked for was the radius logs to see their disconnection levels, if any.
Could you please advise what is the issue with this. I have not asked at any time, on a public forum for any personal details about the account (even though I am aware of all the account details)
If there is an issue, then why are radius logs posted in an open forum for other people.  Is this an issue with me personally?Huh
I am trying to help them out, before I can get there tomorrow afternoon.

It's a matter of data protection which we have to take very seriously.
